Trade Show Exhibitors Association

American Student Dental Association (ASDA) is one of the largest dental student organizations in the United States. The association has approximately 17,000 members and currently represents over 85 percent of dental students from more than fifty-eight dental schools across the country. It maintains two delegates at each dental school chapter to serve as voting members in the ASDA House of Delegates. As a result of resolutions passed by the House of Delegates, the association publishes policy statements on several issues, including dental education, the rights and fair treatment of dental students, dental research, dental student representation and education financing, among others. American Student Dental Association also notifies groups or individuals, such as dental school deans, dental associations, state boards of dentistry and lawmakers, of its position on particular issues.
